Because that would be an incredibly obnoxious (I would even say asinine) thing to do. If I want to make a reply to the list, I'll make a reply to the list. If I don't, I won't. Readers of the FreeBSD mailing-lists are expected to be smart enough to know the difference between ``reply'' and ``followup'' (or whatever the relevant commands in their MUA are). In short, we have had this discussion (at regular intervals) and the answer is still ``no''. -GAWollman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
